Sledding in Del Mar

Thursday | December 31st | 2009 –

Ok, not really sledding… the boys got these new boards for Christmas called Spooners. I think they are made here in San Diego.  I had just done a shoot (sneak peek coming soon) in Del Mar at the beach and the sand was pushed up into big steep hills.  Perfect for the boards.  And today is amazingly beautiful.  And I love the beach in December… love it.  So I pulled my “Please don’t make us do anything but lay around the house” older boys and the fun loving “i’ll go anywhere” Slater to the beach.  And this is what we did.

These were all shot with a little Sony cybershot… when you are used to full creative control with a very good camera, point and shoots kind of suck (and not really just kind of)

this little boy…

Sunday | November 15th | 2009 –

Kills me! …. he just got a haircut yesterday and while it is nothing, not even close, to how I asked the stylist to cut it, it turned out pretty stinkin’ cute. And I just can’t kiss him enough with his ‘little boy, turned big boy’ new look.   He’s at that age where he likes going out to do pictures and he still gives me the fun candid, silly looks without the cheese.  This first shot cost me a pack of smarties.  I don’t even want to think what the older boys would charge me for taking their picture (the reason there are very few pictures of those two boys).  But Slater… loves it.

On the home front…

Saturday | June 13th | 2009 –

Summer is finally here.  I hate school.  And I am not even in it.  The boys school work really gets in the way of my fun;)  But thank goodness summer is here and we can do as we please.  April and May is birthday time around here and all three boys are a year older.  They are now 3, 12, and 14.  I still haven’t taken their birthday pictures yet.  So sad.  This week… or maybe next.  We’ll see.  But I will do their photo shoots soon.

For now, here is a picture of Slater on his favorite birthday present… his new scooter.  And the best part is how Slater raises his leg like this when he is “gliding”.   This scooter is by far the best scooter I have seen around and Little Baby Bird Rock has them:)  It’s called the  Mini Micro Scooter by Micro Scooters America.

San Diego Child & Family Photography | La Jolla, day 2

Thursday | June 4th | 2009 –

The second day of photo sessions was down on the beach just north of Wind and Sea in La Jolla.  It was a cold and kind of wet weekend but just dry enough and bright enough for perfect beach photos.  I actually do not like sunny days for photo shoots at the beach.   Overcast with a glow is ideal.  So this set of sessions was a little different than Saturday’s.  I photographed a couple of families, one mom who’s son couldn’t make it decided to come herself which is such and awesome idea (every mom should have great images of herself), a birthday boy, a family who was going to the hospital the next day to have their second little boy (congratulations you guys), and some darn cute kids.

I also couldn’t pick just one so there are at least two from each session.  I love love love location shooting.  So I definitely felt more in my element on the beach. But I think both sessions went pretty great.  Here’s day two:
